thickness of the paving 6 inches. The
concrete is re-inforced by a mesh
screen, making it strong and last
ing.
Stark Snyder Co., secured all the
alley paving at $2.09.9 per yard
with a 3 per cent discount for cash.
The alleys call for 7 inch bar con
crete with no mesh. The above bid
was the lowest and is considered one
of the best.

In Allamakee county they had
eight candidates for sheriff, and one
of them was Mrs. Gunda Martindale,

Sheriff Theo. Rumph was one of the
last candidates to enter and he top
ped the list getting 1087 votes, but
at that he was about 60 votes short
of getting the required 35 per cent,
so the contest will have to be decid
